Impressive: Your first weeks at Henkel

Your first working day generally starts a few weeks after your application. During the first weeks, you will get a lot of new impressions. But no reason to worry: We offer an information and orientation program to each new colleague – to welcome you in our team.

Already a few weeks before your first working day, you will receive an “Onboarding e-Book“ from us. This helps you to orient yourself quickly.

Your first day will start by getting to know your new colleagues. We will show you your working environment and support you with a few organizational things, followed by a lunch with your team.

During your first meeting with your supervisor, you will receive an orientation plan and further useful check lists, which will help you to better structure your first weeks.

From day one you will take on responsibility and work independently on your own projects. Especially in the beginning, you are obviously not left alone with this. Your colleagues will actively support you.

Your career at Henkel

Get used to change: At Henkel, it is common to change your position every two to three years. Henkel puts great value on the continuous development of your skills and talent. Job-rotation and the accompanying change of position provide new impulses to you and Henkel. We offer a broad range of tools to support you with your personal development: Trainings, challenging projects and coaching by your supervisor are just a few examples.

Managerial responsibility

Clearly defined: Our demands on our managers

It is important to us that all managers have a clear understanding of what managerial responsibility means and what Henkel expects. This is guaranteed by our leadership principles and our trainings for employees with personnel responsibility.

The AUC The American University in Cairo hosted the yearly Employability Skills Conference. During the event, Bassel EL Shaboury, General Manager Laundry & Home Care at #HenkelEgypt, talked about leadership and tackled how students can smoothly pass over from their students life into the professional working environment with its highs and lows, milestones and challenges, as well as life lessons.

How would you consider “Leveraging Digitalization in Business”? 🤔 18 graduate business students from across the Northeastern United States recently presented their ideas & solutions at the 2nd Henkel One-Day Business Case Competition. 👍💡 PRISM-F and the Henkel ATTRACT program collaborated to host the event at our Rocky Hill office. After awarding both the winning team and three other students selected as “Best Presenters”, the day concluded with a Dessert Networking Reception including employees from across the functions. 😊

#HenkelItaly met Silvia Zamboni, Professor at the Università Bocconi, and some CEMS students in Milan for another edition of the “Attakkati ai giovani” project! In this project, groups of students will develop innovative marketing declinations for one of Henkel’s top brands: Loctite®. We are very much looking forward to the ideas the students are coming up with – stay tuned! 😊

#HenkelPoland started the next round of their „You Grow” program, addressed to the most talented non-managerial employees, supporting personal and professional growth with the main focus on developing key leadership competencies, building strong network across divisions and increasing visibility. This time our employees had the opportunity to participate in a business simulation game. Through this program, the participants got the opportunity to run and make decisions for a total business enterprise and understand the complete system of business, including the levers and drivers of business performance at Henkel.

It's about ability, not disability. In celebration of #InternationalVolunteeringDay #HenkelEgypt invited the Helm Foundation, an institute that aims to promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities in all aspects of life. Helm conducted a Disability Ethics Session offered to all our employees. A major part of the session was the 'Hang Out in the Dark' activity, where participants put on blindfolds to experience 15 minutes in the dark using different senses, tools and technology to better understand how a blind or visually impaired person lives.

"Freshly graduated as a chemical engineer, I joined #HenkelAlgeria as a Research & Development Formula Manager as part of the Graduate Development Program in September 2015. A new adventure started for me, totally different from the previous ones I had during my academic years where science and techniques were the only heroes. During the last two and a half years, I tackled many challenges which forged my experience. I learned and developed many skills: leadership essentials, communication, project management and dealing with stakeholders, in addition of the knowledge I have acquired within the R&D community at Henkel."

Last week, our colleagues from #HenkelSlovensko hosted a workshop at the Faculity of Management from the ESN Comenius University Bratislava to sharpen the students’ presentation skills. It was a workshop full of exciting exchange, fun and great results. We wish the participants all the best for their professional future and hope the new gained skills will support them every now and then. :-)

Last week, Kathrin Menges, Executive Vice President for HR, joined the „Talking Careers“ lecture at ESMT Berlin. With students she discussed topics like the increasingly short lifetime of knowledge and building agility as a strength for the workforce.
